You have enough people repeating this and the audience is successfully brainwashed. Of COURSE all the members of the Floyd kiss his ass, it's called bias! And no one dare questions it ( again, thanks for having the courage to do so). As I see it, it's simple to guilt people into repeatedly saying what celebrities say. The reason the word "genius" has lost all meaning in discussions of Rock and Roll is because in attempting to celebrate the roots of things, many will abstain from any criticism at all.
Much like with Ian from, ugh, Joy Division, so many people are unwilling to admit Barrett was not talented.
Thank you! I've felt the same way for years about this overhyped, drugged up hippie for years. So when people kiss dead people’s asses and tell you Syd Barrett was the real genius of Pink Floyd they are indirectly telling you that “Piper at the Gates of Dawn,” is a better album than “Wish you were here,” “Dark Side of the Moon,” and “The Wall,” combined, and seriously how is anyone that stupid? You see Syd Barrett’s involvement in Pink Floyd really only existed on their first album “Piper at the gates of Dawn.” He was sort of around for the second album “A Saucerful of Secrets,” but by that point he was brain dead. But the story gets worse I slowly realized that Pink Floyd took a long time to get their act together after Barrett’s demise, three albums to be exact. How could anyone possibly believe that? Pink Floyd without Syd Barrett became arguably the second greatest rock band of all time, how could the junk produced beforehand even be compared to the powerhouse triptych of “Dark Side of the Moon,” “Wish you were here,” and “The Wall.” It’s amazing the lies people tell themselves to feel better about death, even the death of a man they never knew and had no reason to like.
